MR. BDEAR AND THE DRAGON

TAREK WITH HIS BEAR THEN

AND NOW -- HE HAS ALSO ADDED A PENGUIN TO HIS NIGHT TIME ROUTINE
DREYKEN WITH HER DRAGON

JUST A CUTE PICTURE OF DREYKEN AWAKE

Tarek was a little bit worried before Dreyken was born that she was going to need a Mr. Bdear just like him. Dan's mom gave Tarek a bear his first Christmas (he was about 3 months old) He took to the bear like many kids take to a favorite blanket. He would carry it around in his mouth if he was crawling and he would rub the bears feet at night to go to sleep. I have to admit it was easier to haul around than a blanket. Well, he still has that bear and sleeps with it every night still, and treats it as though it is real, asking it questions and pretending he is getting a response. It is quite funny to hear some of the thoughts Mr. Bdear has. He was worried that the baby would take his bear, so Dan took him to Toys R' Us one day and they picked out a Dragon for Dreyken. He often askes when she will be big enough to play with the Dragon and sleep with the Dragon. As of yet, she has not shown any interest.

DREYKEN ON THE BLANKET ( NOT AS GOOD A PICTURE AS TAREK'S)

In other news, we were finally able to get Dreyken off of the Biliblanket! YEA! Her numbers had gone down enough yesterday that they let me take her off, however, they wanted her to be checked again today, and the number went up slightly so they are making me take her in on Saturday for one final check. If she goes up more, the blanket will be back, if not we are for sure done. Keep your fingers crossed!
